Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Uh huh. Especially this part:

I think the best thing we can do at this point is leave it behind.

People you have got to keep up. The conflict was soooo last night. It's over.

As far as threads are concerned, I think we should set some parameters on what kinds of tv shows get threads; i.e. ME shows, or ME related shows (i.e. Greenwalt, Endlund, Minear shows that may not be ME) or any shows. Personally I think new threads should be allowed for any sci-fi/fantasy/supernatural type shows (including Alias) that at least ten buffistas want to have. Someone mentioned earlier that unrelated tv shows may draw new members who aren't ME watchers. I think this is a good thing because they will not be able to avoid the buffista references and may actually begin watching the ME shows, just to see what all the other buffistas keep referring to. What better mission for a fan site than to create new fans.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

One of the things I've learned from this community is that intelligent, sane, thoughtful people can have disagreements, apologize, and move on without it devolving into community-wide splits or permanent fights. I really value that.

Awwww. Group hug in the Bureaucracy thread!!!!

Up with the sun

Er, I didn't know we had a movies thread. Do we? I thought that folks wanted movie talk to stay in Natter.

We don't as of yet. What I'm suggesting is this: there was a fair amount of support for a movies thread when we started music, and there's also support of a Foamies thread for our movie awards. If we're doing Foamies again anyhow, it makes sense to me to make a general movies thread and do them in that as a two-birds, one-stone kind of move.

But, hey, just an idea. Don't wanna spoil the group hug.
